ntfy is an open‑source HTTP‑based pub‑sub notification service written in Go. It provides a simple REST API and CLI to publish and subscribe to topics, delivering push notifications to phones or desktops.
Use cases
- send a notification to my phone when a backup script finishes
- trigger desktop alerts from CI/CD pipelines via curl
- receive real‑time alerts on mobile for home‑automation events
- publish log messages from a server to a mobile app
- integrate push notifications into custom monitoring tools
When to choose
- You need a lightweight, self‑hostable push notification system without user accounts.
- You prefer a simple HTTP PUT/POST API that works from any language or script.
- You want both a server component and a CLI for publishing/subscribing.
When to avoid
- You require advanced messaging features like queues, topics with complex routing, or guaranteed delivery.
- You need a fully managed cloud service with built‑in scaling and analytics.
- Your environment does not allow running a Go binary or Docker container.
